This article is absolutely pathetic. Was it cobbled together during a lunch break by any chance? It is uninformative lacking any sort of critical appraisal. It would also appear that background research is lacking.

Firstly, you discuss this as a ‘Transfer XV’. A player coming out of retirement is not a transfer.

Secondly, you only list both teams involved in the transfers for 1 player! For example ‘Luke McLean – The Italian player is returning to Italy’. Which teams are involved?

Thirdly, your comments regarding the players are inaccurate. For example ‘Gareth Delve – A huge statement of intent by the Ospreys’. The signing of Gareth Delve is anything but a huge statement of intent. He is an ageing player in decline who has been signed as depth to cover the losses of Ospreys back rowers during the RWC. He will be at best 3rd choice Number 8 behind Dan Baker and Tyler Ardron.

Fourthly, could you not find a Hooker for the XV? Argentinian international Bruno Postiglioni signed for Zebre.
